hi, i want to start a business of "Men Fake tanning". And want to make a good website for it. Can anyone tell me from where do i start.

Well, To develop a good website, you first must organize your target and intention of the site. Bear in mind, you next have to examine your goals group of users and agree on the kind of image you are trying to portray.

Are you going to be selling fake tanning products or will you be linking to products in order to get an affiliate commission?

The first place to start is to define your audience and write down a list of keywords and phrases that they use on the web.  Then try to find out what problems they are trying to solve. Once you have that, you can publish content that directly addresses these issues using the right wording to help you in the search engines.  

In order to publish, Wordpress they easiest, but you can also use Blogger or other similar services.  

I can also help you with self-hosting if you want.  It would be around $5-8 a month and can have you set up and running in about an hour. It's the best way to go in order to be able to handle lots of traffic, have good SEO and be able to expand the site down the road to handle ecommerce and social media integration, i.e. sharing, commenting, etc. 

Tell me a little bit more about your project or email me at hagman.rob@gmail.com if you have more specific questions.  

Thanks, 

Rob

Start first by planning and laying out your website. It’s always best to determine the navigation of your site first before you start. Once you actually start building it things may change so keep in mind nothing is set in stone.

Once you have the idea down you will need to get a domain name and hosting to support your site. Depending on the type of website you want to build you could end up spending a pretty penny, but if you are just starting out you can get a domain name and good hosting for cheap and then add on as your business grows.

If you have no experience in building website and are working from a small budget most hosting companies have free website builders that come with there packages and are ideal for people with no experience. It makes things very easy and always leaves room later for further development.

After your website is built you will need to look into Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and link building to increase your visibility on major search engines and ultimately attract visitors. This is an ongoing process so be willing to put some time and effort into it if you are going to do this yourself. You can also pay for SEO and link building services, but I believe that is a waste of money due to so many other free ways to do this you.

Check out Wizard of the Websites as it is a great free informational website that teaches beginners like you everything there is to know about starting, building, and promoting a successful website.

Hope that helps and

 Yes, It is necessary to know what the markets need it would be easy for you develop the site and also with good content. Hiring some one is also good option because the professional designer knows how to design a perfect site. You can easily hire a professional designer.

You can do a free site at Wix.com but they are kind of poor for search marketing.  Reach local.com I think gives you a site and does the marketing but its bad due to price.  Orangesoda.com, Yodle.com and Synconlinemedia.com are all good as well.  Free site and marketing.

I would research keywords to determine what people were search for online in regards to the topic. Then I would make a site blueprint, which outlined my planned usage of that keyword usage. This would include planning which keywords would be used to plan my site hierarchy and design.

I would determine my plan for monetization and then after I had that done, find a good domain name.

Once those steps were done, I'd come up with a look and feel and begin building the site.
